I NEED ADVICE! My son just turned two months yesterday. He went to his pediatrician to get his 8 week shots but when she weighed him she was very concerned because he had lost weight since the last time she saw him, a month ago. We discussed his eating habits and she concluded that he has reflux. He drinks 3oz of breastmilk every two hours, but often spits most of it up. She said feeding him another oz won't help him gain weight, it will just cause him to spit up more. So she told me to add rice cereal to his breastmilk at every feeding. I've been doing that since yesterday. But now I'm reading online that it's very bad to start rice cereal before 4-6 months . Does anyone have any experience with this?

I put a teaspoon of rice in my daughters milk my pediatrician told me a tablespoon but I was nervous so I did teaspoon and have been doing it since she was 3 weeks she instantly stopped spitting up. She has reflux as well but bc she is so young there isn't any medication for her yet the rice thickened the milk to keep it down. She instantly started gaining weight also.

maybe you should stop breastfeeding. i had to because my son wasnt gaining weight but neither was i because i was pregnant. so they told me to stop and just supplement. maybe you should try your breastmilk and supplements changing your diet as well. whatever you eat so does baby. cokes and things like that effect your milk.

No. He only drinks breastmilk. I just pump exclusively and he bottle feeds it because he can't latch correctly. @thumbalina001

I actually just been told by his doctor he has it and have to get some type of test before given medicine..but my LO is gaining not losing. his doctor said the formula has nothing to do with it but my daughter had this problem but they didn't do a test. they just switched her formula.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

***NEED FORMULA ADVICE*** I brought Waylon to the doctors. He has been spitting up a lot. Because of this, he is loosing weight. His doctor suggest I try a formula mixed with breastmilk. Something specifically made for spiting up. And he said maybe something with rice or cereal in it. I need advice. What brands did you use. What worked best. Last time I used formula, it was for my now 5 year old. I just used enfamil. Nothing special bc he didn't spit up or have allergies or anything. I exclusively breastfed Liam.

Pedi recommends rice cereal for iron

Pedi recommends rice cereal for iron We went to the pedi today for dds check up (4 1/2 months)and the doctor said dd is very petite. (5th percentile for weight? Breastfed.) She recommended rice cereal to help her weight if we wanted to. I asked her if we could skip the rice cereal and go straight for a fruit or a veggie for the first food. I told her that i felt like rice cereal was empty calories. She looked at me like i was an idiot and said "yes but it has a lot of iron which she will need".
